Simara, Oct 6: Chairman of CPN (Unified Socialist) and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal said modernization of agriculture was necessary to boost production. Adoption of technology could help modernize agriculture, thereby lifting people out of poverty, he added. Chairman Nepal expressed such views while addressing a mass gathering organized by the socialist awakening campaign here Thursday.
“Our party has launched the awakening campaign for making clear its policy and principles that citizens must have easy access to education, health and employment opportunities,” he said, adding that his party was for ending gender and class discriminations in order to establish social justice and equality. On the occasion, former prime minister and party leader Jhalanath Khanal said country could achieve prosperity through socialism. The CPN (Unified Socialist) has formulated action plan to make people happy.
According to him, capitalist exploitation was entrenched in rural areas, so scientific socialism should be the goal here after. General Secretary of the party, Ghanashyam Bhusal, made it clear that there is no discrimination in socialism. With the exercise of equal rights, social justice and prosperity could be realized, he argued. Under the campaign, the party welcomed 1,500 new entrants from different parties.
